[jdom-interest] url question

[Mike Danese]

i'm a java programmer and hava been getting requests for xml functionality
from
the content dept. i had no problems getting jdom to manipulte some local xml
files,
but now i'm trying to read in a xml doc from a url and failing. i don't see
to much
info on this in brets book, maybe because it has more to do with io/streams
than
xml programming?? but could someone post an algoritm or sample code for
reading
from a url- feeding to parser- then use a stream writer to output part/all
of a
dom tree.         thanks from a newbie,,  mike danese   mdanese at mucho.com
